JAMES G. BLAINE
To Make Western Tour and
COunteract sherman's
Movements,

New YORK, March 90 The
Tribune tomorrow will say: The
Western trip of james G. Blaine, on
which he will start Monday morning,
has been undertaken fo4 recreation
and business combined. Mr.. Blaine's
daughter, Mrs. Lieutenant Colonel
Coppinger, who is with her husband
at Fort Wichita, Indian Territory,
has been expecting visit from her
father for some time. Mr.. Blaine
is interested in two mines in Col
orado, and desires to 90 to Den
yer on business relating to those
Investments. He will stop at
st. Louis for day ON his way West,
merely to rest, and then go on to
Denver. On his return from Fit.
Wichita he will probably come back
by way of Chicago aud rest there for
day. The trip will occupy about
twenty days. Mr.. Blaine had host
of callers yesterday. He resolutely
refused to talk politics with anyone,
and positively repealed every attempt
to engage him in conversation about
1888. He will make no speeches
while he is gone nor accept
any receptions. Chairman B.
f. Jones, of the Republican
National Committee, came up from
Fortress Monroe to see Mr.. Blaine.
The fact that. Senator Hiscock
should happen to be here at the
same time as Mr.. Blaine created
quite a mares nest of political in
trigue in some imaginative minds
The Senator had been in Washing
ton and was on his way home, and
the fact that Mr.. Blaine was here
made no difference to him. Mr..
Blaine went driving at 5 o'clock p. m.
with Stephen B. Elkins.

The Kansas City Railroad Com
pauy have completed their Birmiug-
ham branch as far as Tupelo,
Miss, and the people o! that historic
spot are iAdulging in boom aud in
all sorts of dreams of great
future" Lots in the town have gone
up in value and land in the
vicinity has greatly increased in price.
Tupelo, when FIRST heard of by the
great wOrld, was the point Of con
ceutration in 1862 for the army Of
Mississippi, which fell back from
Corinth, after the battle Of Shiloh.
Since those days it has made
some progress, but has never
had anything like the oppor-
tunity now offered TO it by this
line OF railroad from Memphis, aud
which will ultimately connect il
with Birmingham and with the coal
and iron fields of Alabama. Mem
phis sends greeting to Tupelo and
welcomes her as future customer
and one who will come with the rich
products Of field aud forest here to
find an open market and fair dealing.

THE APPEAL TODAY.

The APPEAL Of today tells the
story Of the great movement in real
estate that for the past four weeks
has been growing and gathering
strength until it has at last forced it.
self upon the attention Of all classes
as a veritable boom. 1t is a boom
not in a merely paper, inflated or
ephemeral sense, but based on an
abundance OF money for investment
and the faith and confidence Of the
people in the future Of the city.
Doubled in its proportions to meet
the exigencies Of business, the AP-
PEAL today is paper that every citi-
zen will read with pride as well
as pleasure, and we hope, profit. Its
contents are as varied as the tastes
OF our readers, and it mirrors with
the fidelity that has characterized
it for nearly City years the
events of the day aud the current
history of every part Of the world.
The files OF the APPEAL are the his
tory of Memphis. 1t has been the
faithful guide OF two generations
aud the mouthpieoe of the peo-
pie in sickness and in health" in
war and peace. Men have grown
gray who remember it as long as they
can remember anything, and it has
been welcomed in the homes of the
humblest and the greatest Of the
succeeding populations Of Memphis
and all the surrounding country. Its
pages today tell the story Of an I'M
exampled progress, the encOur-
aging result of the faithful
efforts Of plucky and gritty
men and women who have fairly won
the profits that lie within their reach.
Conservative and temperate, never
going to any extreme of rashness,
Memphis takes this boom as a matter
OF course as the Legitimate result of
trade and business, and she will hold
to it all and see that no step is taken
backward, see that what is gained is
maintained aud that there is room
for further growth and on a basis of
remuuerative profit for all who shall
come here and cast their fortunes
with ours.

erous old fellow the very things
we were wanting?

A Valuable Medical Treatise.

The edition for 1888 of the sterling
Medical Annual, known as Hostetter's
Almanac, is now ready, and may be OBJ
tanned, free of cost, of druggists and gen
eral country dealers in all parts of the
United States, Mexico and indeed in
every civilized portion of the Western
Hemisphere. This Almanac has been
issued regularly at the commencement
of every year for over one-fith of CEN
tury. 1t combines, with the soundest
practical advice for the preservation and
restoration of health, a large amount of
interesting and amusing light reading,
and the calendar astronomical calcula-
tons, chronological items, &c, are pre-
pared with great care and will be found
entirely accurate. The issue of Hostel
ter's Almanac for 1888 will probably be
the largest edition of medical work
ever published in any country. The
proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter & Co.,
Pittsburg, Pa, on receipt of a two cent
stamp, will forward copy by mail to
any person who can not procure one in
his neighborhood.

THE Knights of Labor of the
Reading Railroad Numbered when
they ordered a strike. They saw
the error after it was too late, and
many of them are now out of work.
The folly of the cause will be noted.
The Elevator Company, not controll-
ed by the Reading, but happening
to handle a considerable amount OF
Readings freight chose to employ
men who were not members of the
K. of i. On this foolish pretext
a strike was caused, and business
came to stand. They saw their
error and tried to go back, but many
of them will seek for employment
elsewhere. The strike is settled be-
cause the strikers saw their own
foolishness.

To be sure, after the jostling
and hurrying of the last week
before Christmas, there's a lot
of things dusty and clipped
and soiled. There are also
things that were broken in the

Of curiosity we counted the

count we repeated the expert
ment, and proved the thousand

five minutesl and six other
large entrances through which
thepeople we're coming! Would
they come if there was nothing
at least worth seeing?
If a few goods are hurt in
the crowd, we will not grumble.
They are for sale soon as
Christmas is over for what
they'll fetch, and the prices we
put on them bring the custom
ers quickly soon as the news
gets around.
They are principally Books
and Fancy Goods and Hand
kerchiefs, and the goods used
in the windows and other dis
plays.
There are remnants of Dress
Goods, too. The accumula-
ton is something enormous.
You see there's no time in the
rush to watch against remnant
making. Every piece is cut,
and the balance is stuffed
away. Now comes the over

immense, and off they must go.
